6-4 Ducks after four innings. You never know...bringing a pitcher back, but Clarke kept the Spartans scoreless for this inning, and he could go longer into the game. Ryan Cooney hit the first pitch for a line drive into shallow left field. Next Oregon executed a perfect hit-and-run with Carter Garate line driving a single to shallow right field, while Cooney jets to third base from first. Against a new pitcher, Mason Neville hits a pud-hit to the pitcher...who over throws first and scored Cooney. Dominic Hellman grounds out, but scores Garate. We had more action--but left bases-loaded stranded...

Ok, it’s time to burst this bubble. I love Ionscu. Absolutely love her. She got her title in Clark’s debut year, and I can’t even go into how angry I am that Sabrina didn’t get her cbb title or why. It’s that egregious and insidious. However, Caitlin Clark is Steph Curry 2.0. Now. You don’t have to wait five years, you don’t have to wait three. Caitlin Clark is going to obliterate every WNBA record that stands. She is beyond Kobe, Magic, Bird, and Wilt. That girl is already Michael Jordan material, and she is a brand my dear Sabrina will never outshine. I’m all for being a homer, but there absolutely is no comparison to what Caitlin Clark has already done for the WNBA, and who is the better player. And if you want to debate that, tell me how Clark was the one that got EVERY WNBA TEAM charter flights one month into her career, while Sabrina hadn’t in four years. Not to mention TV viewership is beyond the stratosphere, and Sabrina doesn’t come close to packing arenas like Clark does. Caitlin Clark is already more popular than Lebron. You know, the world wide brand of the NBA. Sorry guys, Sabrina is a star, Clark is a supernova.

4-0 Ducks after the first inning! Holy crap...what a difference a pitcher makes, as yesterday--the Michigan State pitcher was simply stunning. Today's starter has an ERA at nearly 6.00, and there is a reason as Oregon is beating him immediately. Our Beloved Ducks have more hits in the first inning today, than the entire game yesterday, and it gives Clarke some breathing room. Mason Neville walked, and the Dominic Hellman hit a double, so we have runners on second and third...in only two batters! Drew Smith then hits a line drive between the outfielders to score Neville,...and then Smith steals second base! Anson Aroz hits a sacrifice fly to score Hellman, and later Smith steals third base. Maddox Molony walks, and Burke-Lee Mabeus hits a slow dribbler in the infield that takes too much time for the MSU third baseman to scoop it up and fire to 1st Base in time. Meanwhile...Drew Smith scores from third while this happens. Then Ryan Cooney nails a pitch that would have gone into the right field corner, but it hit the first-base ump and rolled into the outfield. No matter as Molony scored regardless. What a fantastic start!

2026 Recruitment, Announcements, Interviews, Etc. (4)
Jon Joseph replied to NJDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yes. $10M a year man, Lincoln Riley, cannot recruit, so SC hired a football GM, Chad Bowden from Notre Dame, at a cost of $1M a year. So far, Troy has seen an excellent return on the Bowden investment. Bowden's system has invigorated recruiting. With the help of AD Jen Cohen, Bowden has aligned SC's NIL collective. Since Bowden's arrival, recruiting is looking more like the Pete Carroll days than the Clay Helton days. It's early yet, but USC's 2026 class is ranked No. 1 in the country, including a QB flipped from OBD and a CB signed Friday who was down to SC and OBD. I don't believe the improvement in recruiting is a mirage, a flash in the pan. An SC with its Sierra together will be in play for the athletes Oregon has brought in from California and elsewhere. SC has been a CFB power whenever it put the right people in the right spots. I'm not impressed by Riley as an HC, but given the talent to work with, the SC coaching staff is solid, including the new S&C coach SC just hired. SC was 1-5 in one-possession games in 2024, including games vs. Penn State and Notre Dame, where self-inflicted wounds led to the Ls. And Troy's scheduling savvy has improved. It still has the Domers OOC, but Ole Miss and SC canceled their H+H series that would have seen the Trojans opening against the Rebels in LA on 8/30/25. Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and USC are the five B1G teams that have and will continue to have Blue Chip Rosters. "Sleeping Giant' is overused in CFB, but not in the case of Southern Cal. SC will be 4-0 when it plays at Illinois in Week 5 and has the next Saturday off before Michigan comes to LA in Week 7. OK, JJ, are you happy now? No. -

Has Faded Glory hired a new recruiting guru? Riley has proved nothing for multiple years... Hard to believe he suddenly has found sparkling in a (sun block) bottle... -

I think your missing one player from this list. Freshman guard J.J. Frakes stands 6'5 and weighs 190 lbs. Unless I've missed something, he will be playing for the Ducks this upcoming season. -

Very uncharacteristic game for the Ducks, had the bases loaded in the 6th, no outs, couldn't score.

Three Duck errors in the 2nd inning led to at least three of the six runs.

Agree that Sabrina’s team was loaded, in part because she made them all better players.

Not sure what's going on with Michigan State today, but with the Ducks coming to bat in the 2nd, it's 6-0, Spartans.

No doubt Sabrina is the GOAT, Husky fans tried to say it was Plum, who had the all-time scoring record before Clark. Sabrina could have skipped going for triple doubles and led in scoring, but the 3 D translates into more of a team player, and her team was loaded, the best Duck team ever.
